Editor,
There will never be a fair and unbiased news network. I have to say the need for each political group to push their version of what is correct, fair and “unbiased” media is laughable. Everyone loves to believe that the people who disagree with them are “sheep” and somehow they are the exception to such a phrase.
CNN and Fox News viewers are both insufferable to speak to in the way that they regurgitate the same talking points as their favorite anchors without seeking out the information themselves, and are, in fact, sucked into the propaganda of doom reporting.
Tucker Carlson isn’t a working class man speaking to his fellow workers in solidarity; he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, his mother inheriting major wealth from the Swanson TV dinner company before they sold it off. He is someone who had the privilege growing up in a family free from the harsh realities of poverty. He is one of the many elites he claims to hate, and he gets paid by other rich conglomerates to read off a teleprompter every night.
Why would a man worth millions of dollars since he was a fetus actually care about poor and working class people? What is his incentive to take care of others when he himself has never had to pull himself up by his own bootstraps?
The same can be said for CNN’s Chris Cuomo and his rich posse; if anything Cuomo has more in common with Carlson.
Rich people stick together, they truly do not care for the average American because they profit off of dividing us.
Confirmation bias is a real thing, and every person reading this is guilty of seeking out stories that reaffirm their own opinion; I am even writing this piece with my own biases. I’ve watched plenty of Fox News, and read Das Kapital along with Marx’s other works; none of those dictating who I am as a person or my impact on the community.
It is necessary to read the information yourself instead of having a couple of rich daddy’s boys regurgitate the abridged versions with their own bias.
I decided to check out Mark Levin’s book “American Marxism,” as recommended by Mr. Wilcox of Clinton and have to say I’m deeply disappointed so far as most of it can be easily refuted and reeks of confirmation bias.
At no point does the book’s author attempt to quote actual Marxist literature and instead goes for the same talking points of CRT and “special snowflakes.”
Again, check out an actual U.S. history book or read Marx’s work for yourself, his “terroristic” manifesto is only 23 pages. It is simply the observations of a man noticing a pattern of social and economic changes during the industrial revolution.
I by no means 100 percent agree with Marx’s thoughts on how the working class can take power back from their corporate overlords, but it is understandable and almost prophetic on how he could predict the next hundred years of progress.
